With just over six kilometres of beach, Puerto Del Carmen is number one for beach holidays and if you love to build sandcastles by the sea, this is the place to come! The beaches of Puerto Del Carmen are some of the nicest in Lanzarote and to prove it, they're all Blue Flag beaches.
All the sand is sherbet-soft and golden and the sea is an impossible colour of blue with gently rolling waves.
